Library hosting Women’s History Month scavenger hunt

Participants earn points by taking selfies with community heroines and answering trivia questions.

A Women’s History Month scavenger hunt is underway in Hopkinsville, and participants can score points and win prizes by taking selfies with community heroines and answering several trivia questions. 

The Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library is sponsoring the scavenger hunt through the end of March. The rules are outlined in this information sheet and clue packet; participants can also get a packet at the library’s front desk. 

“I don’t think the everyday heroines get the appreciation that they have earned,” adult services librarian James Overton said in a press release. “This scavenger hunt is the perfect opportunity to give them positive affirmation.”
